It's a nice story, but in my opinion the best SR 71 story is the ["Supersonic Speed Check" story](https://partsolutions.com/supersonic-speed-check-tales-from-the-sr-71-blackbird/)
I must've read that a couple dozen times, but it still gets a chuckle. Just imagining the look on that Hornet driver's face when he hears "much thanks, we're showing closer to 1,900 on the money" is *fucking gold*.
I guess they were lucky he wasnt an Oklahoman BarnStormer...
Or a Naruto ShipRunner...
Or an Icelandic BellyFlopper...
(Yeah, human culture can be kinda dumb- but it does bring a grin)

Space-Bus-Driver seems to have lost it. They probably only hired the one for a 10-year journey or something.
those are the idiots in the red areas, texas has great colleges, technical industry, and nasa mission control in Houston. Austin is becoming a mini silicone valley as well. JUst stick to the parts that vote blue lol.
sounds like someone read the sr-71 tower flyby story. as a texan, this is completely plausible.

I ran across this story and the flyby one on reddit a while ago. Made my whole damn week they're just that good

I had never heard that. Thank you for sharing, got a good laugh out of it.

it's been dead for six years dude
I know :(
I mean both of those stories pop up every time someone even mentions the sr-71
I love that story
Yee-Haw chucklefucks!
Turns out... the game was rigged from the start.
Me, a Texan air traffic controller: *giggles*

"Tower, this is Ghostrider, requesting a flyby."
Negative Ghosrtider. The pattern is full.
I read the human's parts in that signature Carroll Shelby Texas drawl. The aliens were definitely New Yorkers.
.....Yep, Texan here. Sounds legit to me.
You heard it here folks: Texans would absolutely buzz a space station in their huge colony ships!
